Arts on the Green 2023

I was juried in as an exhibitor for the 2023 Arts on the Green Show held at The Maples Park in Crestwood, KY.  It was held Saturday, June 10 and Sunday, June 11.  Saturday had great weather, but Sunday was cut short because of projected storms.
This was the first time that I worked an art and craft booth by myself since... 1989?  I did the Home and Garden show in 2020 as half of Lawler-White.  But before that, 2001 was the last time that I worked an art and craft booth. 

Before the show, I made 4 custom bases for existing sculptures.  This one was for "Fresh Start"...

... and this one for "Green Light".  Both pieces are Indiana Limestone.

This base was made from VA Steatite to go with this AL Marble piece called "Doing Alright".

The same materials were used in "When Yin First Met Yang".  I sold this piece at the show.

I also sold this piece.

I made this piece specifically for the show.  It's IN Limestone and is called "Smooth Sailing.  It sold and...

... won First Place in the sculpture division.

I also made this piece for the show,... but it came back home.

After making bases and pieces for the show, I created this elaborate garden sculpture that I call Phoenix Rising".  It is Indiana Limestone and measures 51"H x 19"W x 15"D
